How to Use Trash and Undo Features in PhotoBase Cleaner
Worried about accidentally deleting the wrong photos? PhotoBase Cleaner's trash and undo features give you complete control and peace of mind. Learn how to safely clean up your photo library with the confidence that you can always recover what you need.
Why Safe Photo Deletion Matters
When cleaning up your photo library, the last thing you want is to permanently lose photos you might need later. That's why PhotoBase Cleaner includes robust trash and undo features:
- Peace of Mind: Know that deleted photos aren't gone forever—you can always recover them.
- Accident Protection: Prevent permanent loss from accidental selections or misclicks.
- Flexible Workflow: Delete confidently knowing you can change your mind later.
- Storage Benefits: Still get the storage space benefits while maintaining recovery options.
How the Trash Feature Works
PhotoBase Cleaner's trash system works like a safety net for your photo cleanup process:
- When you select photos for deletion in PhotoBase Cleaner, they're moved to a trash folder rather than being permanently deleted.
- Photos in trash are hidden from view in the app but still accessible through the app's trash section.
- The trash folder shows you exactly what you've trashed with thumbnails and file information.
- You can browse through your trashed photos to find specific images and review them.
- Photos remain in trash until you permanently delete them or restore them to your library.
💡 Pro Tip
Use the trash as a "second chance" review period. After a few days, you can permanently delete photos you're confident you don't need, or restore any that you realize you want to keep.
Using the Undo Feature
PhotoBase Cleaner's undo feature gives you immediate control over your deletion decisions:
